Job seekers come to live in Australia for the promise of fair prospects and opportunities, not available to them in their own countries. The 457 Visa and the Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS) are two Visa pathways which enable Australian employment to permanently employ skilled overseas staff or temporary Australian residents, if they cannot find adequate skilled staff from people who already live in Australia permanently.

People who live in Australia call it "the lucky country" - and there's no guessing why. Australia currently enjoys the lowest annual unemployment rate we've seen in decades,Want to live in Australia? Articles and most businesses and individuals who live in Australia have emerged from the global financial crisis relatively unscathed. People of all races and cultures come to live in Australia every year - making it one of the largest cultural and ethnic melting pots in the world.

Australia boasts a culture of hardened skin and larrikinism; of mateship and battling through tough times. We owe these values to the convicts and early settlers who first came to live in Australia in the late 1700s. Today, this culture means equal opportunity to all people who live in Australia, no matter what background. It also means all businesses and Australian employers must adhere to strict rules of fair trade and conduct. It means we try not to let bureaucracy stand in the way of "giving people a go" who live in Australia.

Naturally, this is what attracts thousands of skilled migrants and overseas workers every year. Job seekers come to live in Australia for the promise of fair prospects and opportunities, not available to them in their own countries. Knowing this, the Australian Government has very fair visa regulations for skilled migrants seeking to work and live in Australia. The 457 Visa and the Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS) are two Visa pathways which enable Australian employment to permanently employ skilled overseas staff or temporary Australian residents, if they cannot find adequate skilled staff from people who already live in Australia permanently.

All immigration to Australia is governed by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), however the common route for people seeking to live in Australia is to use a registered migration agent. Registered migration agents can assist with the entire Visa application process, giving skilled migrants a better chance to live in Australia sooner. Most Australian migration agents will also provide settlement programs to help migrants adjust to Australian society, enabling them to successfully live in Australia for the long term.

It is not surprising that Australia receives masses of tourists, students and job seekers every year - many of whom end up wanting to live in Australia permanently. With such a young, promising economy, a low unemployment rate, and a very fair set of governing rules to live and work by, who wouldn't want to live in Australia?
